Weight control system on the feeder conveyor determines the factor of the quality of products within an industry. The dynamics of the flow rate of material through the feeder conveyor weigh requires a good level of performance controllers. The base of current controllers such as FLC (Fuzzy Logic Controller) requires a certain amount of knowledge and expertise in its design that will make it difficult to achieve good system performance. These difficulties can be overcome by using systems based on ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). By doing the learning offline, using ANFIS can be obtained by fuzzy inference systems to create a controller FLC. Microcontroller  have  FLC controller program, its integrated with notebook can monitor and control the notebook weigh feeder conveyor system. Designing a system that has been created will give good results with an average error value of 3.86% at the set-point of 1000 grams / minute, and the average error of 5.03% on set-point 2000 grams / minute in ten times testing.

Abstract In this paper, we report on the development of a neuro-fuzzy controller for magnetorheological dampers using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System or ANFIS. Fuzzy logic based controllers are capable to deal with non-linear or uncertain systems, which make them particularly well suited for civil engineering applications. The main objective is to develop a semi-active control system with a MR damper to reduce the response of a three degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) building structure. The control system is designed using ANFIS to optimize the fuzzy inference rule of a simple fuzzy logic controller. The results show that the proposed semi-active neuro-fuzzy based controller is effective in reducing the response of structural system.

In this article, the main object of research is the creation of appropriate microclimatic conditions to ensure reliable and high-quality storage of archival documents, as well as automatic control of the optimal values of the main parameters of the external and internal environment that directly affect the quality of storage. To control the microclimate, three categories of models for automatic control of these parameters are considered separately in the archives: the “white box”, “black box” and “gray box " models. The results of the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the considered models are presented. The generalized structure of the microclimate management system is also given, as well as a list of controlled and changeable parameters of the microclimate management system of archives. It is proposed to use the fuzzy logic apparatus to create microclimate control systems in archival repositories, which allows synthesizing stable algorithms for its functioning in conditions of uncertainty. The specific steps that need to be performed when designing and using fuzzy inference systems and which are implemented based on the rules of fuzzy logic are listed. When designing and using fuzzy inference systems, it is necessary to observe certain stages that are implemented based on the rules of fuzzy logic. A generalized algorithm for forming a rule base with a technique for implementing the fuzzy inference procedure is presented. The tasks that need to be solved when designing a fuzzy control system are indicated. A system of automatic temperature control in archival repositories with a fuzzy logic controller is presented.

COVID-19 was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. It mainly affects the respiratory system and can lead to the death of the patient. The motivation for this study was the current pandemic situation and general deficiency of emergency mechanical ventilators. The paper presents the development of a mechanical ventilator and its control algorithm. The main feature of the developed mechanical ventilator is AmbuBag compressed by a pneumatic actuator. The control algorithm is based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which integrates both neural networks and fuzzy logic principles. Mechanical design and hardware design are presented in the paper. Subsequently, there is a description of the process of data collecting and training of the fuzzy controller. The paper also presents a simulation model for verification of the designed control approach. The experimental results provide the verification of the designed control system. The novelty of the paper is, on the one hand, an implementation of the ANFIS controller for AmbuBag pressure control, with a description of training process. On other hand, the paper presents a novel design of a mechanical ventilator, with a detailed description of the hardware and control system. The last contribution of the paper lies in the mathematical and experimental description of AmbuBag for ventilation purposes.

Apple is a high-value import fruit in Indonesia. One of the Apple production centers in Indonesia is Batu City, but the results tend to be declining in every year. To fulfill the demand of domestic apple industry, it is than a must to open new plantation land by observing the spatial factor. Expert and direct field review are needed to perform the analysis of land suitability, so that it will takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, a smart system that can conduct geospatial analysis by using fuzzy inference system is developed. The data was obtained by using satellite imagery, data interpolation, and digitized and then analyzed into information. The analysis was performed on each pixel with six variable inputs including altitude, rainfall, humidity, air temperature, soil type and sun shine intensity. Besides that, the five-clustering output makes the results more accurate. From the results of the accuracy test, it is obtained a 92,86% accuracy, by comparing the results of the spatial analysis using fuzzy inference system with direct review on the field.

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are the most popular motors used by the industry because they are easy to control. BLDC motors are generally controlled by artificial controls such as Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). However, the performance of the BLDC control system in previous studies was compared separately with their respective parameters, making it difficult to evaluate comprehensively. Therefore, in order to investigate the characteristic performance of Fuzzy, ANN, and ANFIS, this article provides a comparison of these artificial controls. Two scenarios of the dynamic tests are conducted to investigate control performance under constant torque-various speed and constant speed-various torque. By dynamic testing, characteristics of Fuzzy, ANN, and ANFIS can be observed as real applications. The testing parameters are: Settling Time, Overshoot and Overdamp (in the graph and average value), and then statistic performance are: Integral Square Error (ISE), Integral Absolute Error (IAE), Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The test result in scenario 1 showed that the ANN has a better performance compared to other controllers with the MAE, IAE, ITAE, and ISE value of 31.3003; 105.6280; 208.0630; and 5,7289 e4, respectively. However, in scenario 2, ANN only has a better performance compared to other controllers on just a few parameters. In scenario 2, ANN is indeed able to maintain speed but it has a more ripple value than ANFIS. Even so, the ripple that occurs in ANN does not have too much value compared to the setpoint. Therefore, the MAE value of the ANN is smaller than the ANFIS (18.8937 of ANN and 28.4685 of ANFIS).


This chapter presents the mathematical formulation of the fuzzy logic-based inference systems, used as means to infer about the response of ill-conditioned systems, based on the field knowledge representation in the fuzzy world. Particular approaches are explored, e.g., Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), Adaptive Networks-based FIS (ANFIS), Intuitionistic FIS (IFIS) and Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM), surfacing their potentialities in modeling applications, such as those in the field of learning, examined in the chapters of Part III that follow.

There would always be some unknown geometric, inertial or any other kinds of parameters in governing differential equations of dynamic systems. These parameters are needed to be numerically specified in order to make these dynamic equations usable for dynamic and control analysis. In this study, two powerful techniques in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), namely Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) are utilized to explain how unknown parameters in differential equations of dynamic systems can be identified. The data required for training and testing the ANN and the ANFIS are obtained by solving the direct problem i.e. solving the dynamic equations with different known parameters and input stimulations. The governing ordinary differential equations of the system is numerically solved and the output values in different time steps are obtained. The output values of the system and their derivatives, the time and the inputs are given to the ANN and the ANFIS as their inputs and the unknown parameters in the dynamic equations are estimated as the outputs. Finally, the performances of the ANN and the ANFIS for identifying parameters of the system are compared based on the test data Percent Root Mean Square Error (% RMSE) values.

Purpose This study aims to analyze the performance of four different fuzzy inference system-based forecasting tools using a real case company. Design/methodology/approach The forecasting tools were tested using 27 products of the nail polish line of a multinational beauty company and the performance of said tools was compared to those of the company’s previous forecasting methods that were basically qualitative (informal and intuition-based). Findings The performance of the methods analyzed was compared by using mean absolute percentage error. It was possible to determine the characteristics and conditions that make each model the best for each situation. The main takeaways were that low kurtosis, negatively skewed demand time-series and longer horizon forecasts that favor the fuzzy inference system-based models. Besides, the results suggest that the fuzzy forecasting tools should be preferred for longer horizon forecasts over informal qualitative methods. Originality/value Notwithstanding the proposed hybrid modeling approach based on fuzzy inference systems, our research offers a relevant contribution to theory and practice by shedding light on the segmentation and selection of forecasting models, both in terms of time-series characteristics and forecasting horizon. The proposed fuzzy inference systems showed to be particularly useful not only when time-series distributions present no clear central tendency (that is, they are platykurtic or dispersed around a large plateau around the median, which is the characteristic of negative kurtosis), but also when mode values are greater than median values, which in turn are greater than mean values. This large tail to the left (negative skewness) is typical of successful products whose sales are ramping up in early stages of their life cycle. For these, fuzzy inference systems may help managers screen out forecast bias and, therefore, lower forecast errors. This behavior also occurs when managers deal with forecasts of longer horizons. The results suggest that further research on fuzzy inference systems hybrid approaches for forecasting should emphasize short-term forecasting by trying to better capture the “tribal” managerial knowledge instead of focusing on less dispersed and slower moving products, where the purely qualitative forecasting methods used by managers tend to perform better in terms of their accuracy.

This paper presents a novel fuzzy inference model based on artificial hydrocarbon networks, a computational algorithm for modeling problems based on chemical hydrocarbon compounds. In particular, the proposed fuzzy-molecular inference model (FIM-model) uses molecular units of information to partition the output space in the defuzzification step. Moreover, these molecules are linguistic units that can be partially understandable due to the organized structure of the topology and metadata parameters involved in artificial hydrocarbon networks. In addition, a position controller for a direct current (DC) motor was implemented using the proposed FIM-model in type-1 and type-2 fuzzy inference systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the fuzzy-molecular inference model can be applied as an alternative of type-2 Mamdani’s fuzzy control systems because the set of molecular units can deal with dynamic uncertainties mostly present in real-world control applications.
